Frequently asked questions
How do I start the test?
In the first step, you fill out the form. We will then send you your tracking code, your access data, the data protection text and the order processing agreement (AVV).

Important for data protection-compliant tracking: Insert the data protection text incl. opt-out link at the appropriate place on your website and sign and return the AVV to us.
Is the installation of the tracking code complex?

Software
How does LeadLab work?
We use all information for identification that is transferred during a website visit, i.e. IP address, dial-up node and geolocation. We query these in various databases and the information generated is linked accordingly by our technology. Thus we generate company name, zip code, city and industry & company size. Furthermore, the corresponding decision maker information is added. In addition, all persons who can be found on Xing or LinkedIn for this company are displayed with a link.
How is LeadLab integrated on your website?
To integrate LeadLab on your website, all you need to do is embed a JavaScript code (a so-called "tracking code") in the master template of your website. You will receive the tracking code as well as step-by-step instructions for integration from us by e-mail directly after requesting your four-week free trial period. The integration of the tracking code takes a maximum of 10 minutes and is carried out by your web administrator or by the agency commissioned by you. Alternatively, the code can also be integrated via the GoogleTag Manager.
Does the WiredMinds tracking code affect my website load times?
No. LeadLab does not slow down the loading time of your website. The reason is an asynchronous code. This runs in the background and is only called once the page is fully loaded.
Marketing
Does the WiredMinds tracking code affect already implemented systems?
No.
Can I analyze marketing campaigns with LeadLab?
Yes, you can accurately measure and optimize all your online campaigns with LeadLab. With LeadLab you can see exactly which company has responded to which of your online campaigns. You can evaluate your campaigns e.g. target group specific and thus see if e.g. certain company sizes or industries have specifically interacted with your campaigns. This allows you to permanently optimize your existing Google Ads (or similar) campaigns, banners, e-mailings, social media posts, use them cost-efficiently and make the success of the campaign demonstrably measurable.
Are there interfaces to CRM systems?
Yes, with our LeadLab REST API you can integrate your LeadLab data directly into any system. You configure the output of your company visitors in LeadLab once and receive a machine-editable format (JSON), which you can then use for automatic integration into your CRM system or other systems. If you use Salesforce as your CRM system, you will receive the LeadLab data directly in your Sales Cloud with our LeadLab4Salesforce app.

No. LeadLab is a web-based software. You open our application through any web browser.
